You realize Boykins got hit in the face early in the game, his eye swole up, and then he couldn't see well out of that eye? Then after he came back in the second half, his ankle got twisted after their white guy sandwiched him while he was up in the air? And Jacobi and AD play different positions?

Boykins had a rough night, but he's usually a lot better, an excellent defender, and arguably the best shooter in Tech history. We need more Boykins to help dig us out of this hole.

What have you been watching for 4 years? The guy is our go to defender and is guards the star player every night. He defended Smart very well last night and was a reason we won the game.

Boykins got beat to a pulp last night

Sad thing was on all three plays not a SINGLE foul was called

And don't forget AD stomped on him coming down for a rebound also (right in his sternum)

That said he played a real good defensive game when he was in and was money from the FT line

Washington, Powell and White really struggled last night

If White is sick sit him till he is well, he is a defensive liability and can't rebound even when he has position

Powell forced his offensive game last night - missed 3 or 4 two footers which bleed over into his FT shooting which is normally solid - and he fumbled two late passes which were crucial turnovers

Washington was a no show - blew a dunk and was a step slow on defense

Jean, AAA, AD and Boykins all played lights out defense which kept us in the game even when we couldn't score

UNT took Boykins out of the game on the offensive end - he literally had no space to get off a shot, but he didn't force it because he knew the Frosh were on

Smart from UNT is all he is cracked up to be - he can drain 3s from any where and we never ever gave him an open look and the last shot he hit was a circus shot
